Mineki Murata is an artist based in Maebashi, Gunma, Japan. Murata’ s works mainly consist of drawing performances, hallmarked by his energetic physical actions, as well as installations of the objects which result from those performances. Murata’ s practice is guided by his spontaneous movements and the etymological interpretation of the Japanese word kaku, which brings together of four different meanings: writing (kaku: 書) his consciousness, drawing (kaku: 描) results, scratching (kaku: 掻) actions, and lacking (kaku: 欠く) hidden potentials. Murata creates his works with his eyes closed, fully concentrating his physical sensation to (with)draw a picture on his eyelids and create a vision inside him.
